Today, when I checked the old emails of my second Gmail account, I saw an email with an update notice. I started to use Matomo on this blog in May 2023.
Matomo Analytics 5.0 is here
What’s new?
* Strengthened security: Enhanced protection further secures your data.
* Faster insights: Improved query performance means quicker access to analytics.
* Improved compatibility: Further support and compatibility-related improvements for PHP versions 8.1, 8.2 and the latest 8.3, so Matomo remains at the forefront of technology.
* Modernised front-end: Transitioned to Vue.js, paving the way for future improvements.
* Enhanced accessibility: Added new icons, clearer notifications, and proper link underlines in URLs for a better user experience.
Oh, it is a new one, I am going to update my installation.
Look at the old UI, version 4.15.1
I can just click the button “NEW UPDATE: MATOMO 5.0.0”. It is promoted I can update it automatically.
So, I click the left button to start the update.
Then, click “Continue to Matomo”.
The update program said ” Database Upgrade Required”. I have to do it in the command line mode.
Get into the SSH window, run the command
php /home/bing/piwik.g2soft.net/console core:update
Look at the new Matomo v5 dashboard.

January 2024 is the month of Blogging. I will post more blog posts than before. I plan to publish one post each day. Let me see if I can stick with my plan. You know, the plan is always changed or failed at the last.
But this time, I want to make it.
